we know that

An exponential function is a function where the input, x, appears in the exponent.

the equation of an exponential function usually looks like:

$y=ab^{x}$

where

a is a number called the initial value

b is a number called the growth factor

In this problem

we have

$f(x) =\frac{1}{5}(15^{x})$

where

$\frac{1}{5}$ -------> is the initial value

$15$ ------> is the growth factor

therefore

the answer is the option

$D. 15$

Which Statement or Inequalities describe the number line graph?

Vika [28.1K]

I might be wrong but:

x is less than negative three and x is greater than or equal to negative one.

Inequality is x<-3 and x ≥ -1

I NEED HELP!!!!!In the graph shown, suppose that f(x) = 3.5x and h(x) = 1.5x. Choose the statement that COULD be true.

rusak2 [61]

The given functions are

$f(x)=3.5^x$

$h(x)=1.5^x$

Now these are exponential curves and the bases for the functions are 3.5 & 1.5

Also the graph of g(x) is between f(x) & h(x)

Hence the value of base called the scale factor must be between 3.5 & 1.5.

4 & 5 are more than 3.5

0.9 is smaller than 1.5

But π = 3.14 lies between 3.5 & 1.5.

Hence the only option which can represent the graph of g(x) is

$g(x)=\pi ^x$

Option D) is the right answer

9/2h = -1 what does h equal too?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

$\textbf {The answer is h = -2/9.}$

$\textrm {We are given that 9/2h = -1. Hence, divide by 9/2 on both sides.}$

$\frac{9/2h}{9/2} = \frac{-1}{9/2}$

$\boxed {h = -\frac{2}{9}}$

Answer:

If the signs of rational numbers are same, then the answer is positive.

If the signs of rational numbers are different, then the answer is negative.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A: When multiplying or dividing rational numbers, when will the answer be positive?

If we are multiplying or dividing rational numbers the answer will be positive if and only if both the rational numbers have same sign.

For example: Multiply 2 and 4.

2×4=8 (same sign)

Multiply -2 and -4.

-2×-4=8 (same sign)

8 is a positive rational number.

Now divided 2 and 4.

$\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}$

Divided -2 and -4.

$\frac{-2}{-4} =\frac{1}{2}$

1/2 is a positive rational number.

Hence, If the signs of rational numbers are same, then the answer is positive.

B: When multiplying or dividing rational numbers, when will the answer be negative?

If we are multiplying or dividing rational numbers the answer will be negative if and only if both the rational numbers have different sign.

For example: Multiply 2 and -4.

2×-4=-8 (different sign)

Multiply -2 and 4.

-2×4=-8 (different sign)

-8 is a negative rational number.

Now divided 2 and -4.

$\frac{2}{-4} =-\frac{1}{2}$

Divided -2 and 4.

$\frac{-2}{4} =-\frac{1}{2}$

-1/2 is a negative rational number

Hence, If the signs of rational numbers are different, then the answer is negative.
